holidays

When I was younger, I never realized why all the characters in "winter holiday" movies (whether they be Christmas, Hanukkah, etc.) were so cynical about them. I didn't realize why they all hated the holidays and found them so depressing.

Now, I'm not saying I am finding them depressing, or that I hate the holidays. At all. I am just saying that I can now start to see why those characters felt that way. I'm not depressed, but I am lonely. The people in those movies are, for some reason, reluctant to be with family. That I do not get. I want to be with family more than anything right now. So that makes me feel better, knowing I'm not at the point those characters are at.

I used to wonder why those people only saw the bad things. They were such pessimists. The holidays is about being grateful for what we do have, in comparison to what other's do or do not have. But all those characters were not grateful at all. I do not consider myself a pessimist, and I am very grateful for what I have. But I am seeing some bad things in this particular holiday. Mostly because I am noticing how others are not grateful for what they have, and it's ridiculous because they have so much.

Anyway, enough about that. Just some observations I've had. LOVE LOVE LOVE. So much!

New Things

So, first of all, sorry. For taking so long. I do have an explanation though.

I have been busy! I've been working every day of every weekend, keeping up with school, maintaining a long-distance relationship, and have recently been finishing/still in the process of making four student films. It has been awesome, so much fun, but oh-so-tiring. That's my explanation. Hope it's good enough for you.

That's my brief update at one in the morning. There are details and snippets and more elaborated stories of course, but they will most likely come out easier with a question. So please, prompt me.

My other piece of news is, probably not as exciting for you, but a great new idea for me. I have just thought of it while signing in to make this post and see/remembering I have a whole other blog. Remember Teen Bogue? Well, I have decided to get that running again, well actually, not again, because it never really happened in the first place. But I have decided to change the topic. Instead of "bogue-ing" people based on what they wear, I shall merely record little things I experience throughout the city. Little snippets of conversation I overhear on the street, or people I observe on the subway. It seems like an interesting new aim for me, but tell me what you think.

LOVE. <3
